F I S K CK TIRES The Insulated Cord The Accomplishment ot Super-Mileage When subjected to the unmerciful torture of the rugged highway Fisk Truck Cords prove their strength by giving unfaltering service. The ceaseless battering of the most cruel road surface has little effect upon the invulnerable tread.

In selecting Fisk Truck Cords you are guided by the Unreserved endorsement of a great army of motorists whose demands can only be satisfied by the best. , vilUULuuI u mStimtt JSs til I ' UvVVnW H'MK "XS 'j.V wwsmr. .J:sar-ra The Insulated Cord The Cord Construction The Fisk tread offers greatest resistance to skidding, combining the vacuum principle with the squeegee.

Eight plies of tough cords, evenly laid in al ternating directions, held firmly in place by strength. anchorage in rubber, makes its wonderful Eswh individual cord is insulated the same principle as high voltage electric wires to protect from exposure. The fine spiral strands that make up each individual cord are insulated with a triple solution of rubber. This exclusive Fisk process guards against mois ture disintegrating the cords.
